MONTGOMERY — Two men were arrested Monday night on charges that they stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical supplies from a warehouse where they worked.

State police said they were contacted by the warehouse's corporate security and told about an ongoing larceny scheme by several employees. Police said they recovered stolen products from a local storage facility, and determined that two employees had been stealing the goods and selling them online and elsewhere.

Joseph Quinn, 23, of Campbell Hall, and Jon Livesey, 51, of Newburgh, were arraigned in Montgomery Town Court by Justice Frederick Gorss and sent to Orange County Jail on $7,500 cash bail or $25,000 bond; they are to appear in court again on May 14.

The two were stealing surgical equipment, glucose-monitoring strips, stitches and other medical equipment, state police Capt. Joe Tripodo said. No controlled substances were taken, Tripodo said. He said police have recovered $371,000 worth of medical supplies so far. Police weren't releasing too many other details Wednesday, saying the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are expected.

Quinn and Livesey are charged with grand larceny, a felony, and conspiracy and criminal facilitation, misdemeanors. Quinn is also being charged with possession of stolen property, a felony.

The Orange County District Attorney's Office helped with the search warrant application and investigation.
